After picking pumpkins this past Saturday, the girls came home & immediately asked if they could carve them. As we love to watch them carving pumpkins, we got started.
It was pretty cool out (despite the fact that Amanda's wearing shorts....she's a little strange), but they loved digging all the goop out. And of course they had to play with it a bit!
Amanda carved a silhouette of a cat & moon into her pumpkin, while Dan & Emilee chose to carve funny-faced jack-o-lanterns. The pumpkins turned out awesome, and are currently lit on our front porch.
You know, I never used to care whether we carved pumpkins or not. But now that the girls are getting older, it's a lot of fun. I love to watch them pick out their pumpkins (gotta get just the right one) and ponder over what design to carve each year. I really look forward to it now!
Enjoy the pics!
This weekend we plan to make caramel apples (hopefully!). Stay tuned to see how that goes!
Cool pumpkins guys. Yours look better than mine ever do, so I leave the carving to the kids and James :)
